After letting it fully cure and having a chance to see it in the sun, it’s definitely a lot yellow-er than I had planned. Not yellow, but definitely not the orange of the LE. Considering this was the result of having an idea and doing it same day, I’m still happy with it. It was easy enough to do that I could try again with a better color match headache free. Backplate swap is easy enough but prying that display up and out and transplanting everything looks horrifying lol.
Alright I removed a good bit of stuff that didn’t need to be said. Sorry for the long ass post, I don’t post on reddit too much and it shows lol. Hoping this helps someone deciding to do the same thing!
